**In this riveting historical mystery novel from New York Times
bestselling author Philip Kerr, Bernie Gunther trails a serial killer in
1950's Buenos Aires...
**
Buenos Aires, 1950. After being falsely accused of war crimes, Bernie
Gunther--like the Nazis he has always despised--has been offered a new
life and a clean passport by the Perón government. But the tough,
fast-talking ex-Berlin detective doesn't have the luxury of laying low.
The local police pressure Bernie into taking on a case in which a girl
has turned up gruesomely mutilated. What's more, her murder just might
be linked to a missing German banker's daughter and a long-unsolved case
Bernie worked back in Berlin before the war. After all, the scum of the
earth has been washing up on Argentina's shores--state-licensed
murderers and torturers--so why couldn't a serial killer be among them?
